Being it is between the 40 Meter and 80 meter band, I assume the 60 meter
band is local or very poor during the day. At night in the winter months,
propagation should offer characteristics similar to the 40 meter and 80
meter bands. Have read some reports of NVIS being used successfully for
local day communications.


Thanks to the Aussies, if you look here at various times throughout
the day you will get a good idea of the highest frequency available
for some NVIS action: http://www.ips.gov.au/HF_Systems/4/3
